(openPR) - UK Models, one of the modelling industries best know agencies highlight the pitfalls and scams within the legitimate and illegitimate modelling industry and how to avoid them.

London, England, 12th July 2011 - In order to combat the growing menace of unscrupulous modelling agencies duping people the legitimate industry is fighting back by providing detailed information on current scams

A spokeswoman from UK Models explains, 'Although these types of scams have been with us for a long time, the advent of the internet has given the legitimate modelling industry a world wide platform from which to fight back. Our website features a section on the latest scams, where they are happening and subject to legalities, who is perpetrating them. We also provide basic industry wide information that should help people make informed decisions when dealing with companies and people associated with modelling.’

The advisory section is detailed and contains information appertaining to newspaper and magazine adverts, portfolio packages, unfair contracts and a whole host of other elements that people need to be aware of before they attend any casting sessions or enter into any contractual agreement.

Our spokeswoman from UK Models Bluerooms continues, ' We have made every effort to ensure the information on our site is as detailed as possible but also presented in an easy to read format. We realise that most people now have access to the internet so are also taking steps in conjunction with our marketing team to make the information easier to find for those who use search engines.’

Although the internet has broadened the platform from which the legitimate modelling industry can broadcast its advisories it also gives the scam agencies and fraudsters the same opportunity. Care should also be taken when replying to online adverts, as many cannot be substantiated as legitimate companies.

Our Spokeswoman concludes by saying, 'We would advise anyone who is any doubt as to the legitimacy of the people they are dealing with to check the warnings on our website and take all necessary precautions in order to avoid financial losses or indeed the heartbreak of a shattered dream.’
